A:AnswerI don’t know about Alexa specifically because I don’t use it. But if Alexa uses Bluetooth then you should be able to pair it to the receiver. I have my iPhone paired and stream via Bluetooth all the time. And yes, the owner’s manual includes instructions for pairing Bluetooth-enabled devices.
A:AnswerYes. I have my receiver hooked up to my Smart TVs for headphone audio and external audio via an optical/RCA converter. It works well, especially if you have multiple Smart TVs in a room where you can switch the respective audio channel through each TV in that room for audio.
A:AnswerI do not use a line 1 or 2. I only use the Bluetooth with my phone to play SiriusXM music. Which by the way works great with my Bower and Wilkins speakers. These outdoor speakers are the best.
A:AnswerI would say totally.
The receiver and speakers are configured for 8 ohms impedance.
Use 14 or 16 gauge speaker wire and you'll have good sound.
A:AnswerBit confused by your question. There is no input on the front of the receiver, just a headphone jack, which is for headphones.
To connect to it, you need to connect your source (such as DVD or CD player) to one of the pairs of red and white RCA jacks on the back. This is analog audio in. Many current DVD players don't have analog stereo outputs, just digital. If you don't have red and white outputs on the back of your DVD player you can't connect to this receiver without some kind of an adaptor
